UIActivityViewController With Alternate Filename?

问题

I am sharing an audio recording via the UIActivityViewController. When the audio file shares via email or iMessage, it shows the underlying name of the audio file without any apparent way of changing it.

NSArray *activityItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:self.audioPlayer.url, nil];

UIActivityViewController *avc = [[UIActivityViewController alloc]
                                 initWithActivityItems:activityItems
                                 applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:avc
                   animated:YES completion:nil];

If I don't use the UIActivityViewController and just use MFMessageComposeViewController directly, than I can use

[composer addAttachmentURL:self.audioPlayer.url withAlternateFilename:@"Piano Song.m4a"];

Is it possible to have an alternate file name with the UIActivityViewController?

回答1:

You can create a hard link to the file (so that you don't have to copy the actual file) with any name you want in the temporary directory and pass it to the UIActivityViewController instead of the file.

- (NSURL *)createLinkToFileAtURL:(NSURL *)fileURL withName:(NSString *)fileName {
    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];

    // create a path in the temp directory with the fileName
    NSURL *tempDirectoryURL = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] temporaryDirectory];
    NSURL *linkURL = [tempDirectoryURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];

    // if the link already exists, delete it
    if ([fileManager fileExistsAtPath:linkURL.path]) {
        NSError *error;
        [fileManager removeItemAtURL:linkURL error:&error];
        if (error) {
            // handle the error
        }
    }

    // create a link to the file
    NSError *error;
    BOOL flag = [fileManager linkItemAtURL:fileURL toURL:linkURL error:&error];
    if (!flag || error) {
        // handle the error
    }
    return linkURL;
}

Use it like this:

NSURL *fileURL = ...;
NSString *desiredName = ...;

NSURL *linkURL = [self createLinkToFileAtURL:fileURL withName:desiredName];
UIActivityViewController *viewController = [[UIActivityViewController alloc] initWithActivityItems:@[linkURL] applicationActivities:nil];
[self presentViewController:viewController animated:YES completion:nil];

Hope this helps! Good luck!
